# De Mortuis Nil Nisi Bona

_Being a Series of Problems in Executorship Law and Accounts_

By Ernest Evan Spicer and Ernest Charles Pegler.

"De Mortuis Nil Nisi Bona" by Ernest Evan Spicer and Ernest Charles Pegler is a legal publication written in the early 20th century. The text serves as a practical guide to issues related to executorship law and accounts, likely focusing on various legal scenarios that arise after someone's death, particularly concerning inheritances and how to properly manage them. The opening of the work sets the stage with a foreword in Latin and a dedication, followed by an introduction discussing the authors' intentions to make the study of law and accounting engaging rather than dry. It features a series of problems relating to deceased estates, each designed to challenge the reader’s understanding of legal principles in a relatable and often humorous way. The early examples presented introduce whimsical characters involved in typical estate-related dilemmas, hinting at the blend of education and entertainment that characterizes the book's approach to legal topics.
